Does any body know how to put a shamrock on a pint of Guinness or am i a dying breed?

I was taking the mick out of this barman once, in a jovial leg-pulling kind of way. When he gave me my Guiness, instead of a shamrock he'd drawn a mighty fine c0ck. It even had a jap's eye. He definitely had the last laugh there.

Only seen it on occasions such as St Paddy's Day
Reply:I haven't seen that done in a long time but its a nice effect all the same.
Reply:Yeah, I was taught how to draw shamrocks on top of a pint by three old Irishmen. I don't really see the point, but if in a Guinness-type emergency I was called upon to make a shamrock happen, I could probably rise to the challenge. What IS the point, anyway? I mean, a good pint is a good pint.
Reply:You're a very dying breed. What's a shamrock?
Reply:I haven't seen it done since The Field, in San Diego! Oh, that inspired me for a question...
Reply:You can get a plastic the shape of a shamrock and dip it into the froth - or you can draw it with the pipe that the draught guiness is coming through like some bartenders cleverly do very quickly.





Yes well if you add details to your question and keep changing your question and make a statement rather than asking a question - who cares really just cut a piece of shamrock and chuck it on top of the Guiness and let it stand on your mantlepiece as an ornament - while everyone else will just drink it - as long as it has a good head and it tastes ok who cares!
Reply:Yes and I can do the harp, too.
Reply:dead easy! Hell after ten pints I CAN DO THE WATER LILLIES maybe
Reply:I can do it but I cannot get the little indents in leaves if you know what I mean. I've seen it done properly in O'Neills and it was a million times better than mine, but I try and I think thats all that matters
Reply:Yes as it's dead easy. Just takes longer to do at the bar so not many people/places bother to do it.
